Blackout now features an energy system, which limits how often you can play. You'll get a certain amount of time to play for free, which can be extended by purchasing more energy. If you elect not to pay, you'll need to wait for your energy to refill. Players that have already paid for the game are given Veteran status. Veterans don't need to pay for energy, and can play as much as they want without additional payments.

The spring content update also brings new weapons, more customization, the Support character class, and controller support. There's also a new multiplayer game mode, Zone Control.
